I am and it is really annoying! I honestly thought Asus was the leader in computer technologies but thus far I have been pretty disappointed with some of the aspects of the new Asus ROG GU501GM Laptop I just purchased. I mean even companies like HP can make a headphone jack that doesn't admit this hi pitch hissing noise like I just plugged into the cheapest piece of audio equipment on the planet. I'm not asking for 7.1 fidelity if I was Id use better headphones which I do own. However it is a laptop so why should I have to cart around giant expensive headphones with me just to use my laptop which by design is made to be portable and convenient. I'm just looking for decent quality sound without this horrible hiss would have been acceptable.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yeah, just bought this laptop and I have the same issue. Audio through an external USB audio interface is fine, but there is a constant high-pitched whine from the headphone jack. Seems like a hardware issue to me. Not sure if it's coil whine or picking up the sound from the fans or what. Between this and the annoying high-pitched whistle of the fans themselves I might return it.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.^^ yes my current "solution" is just to use a usb headset. But It might be a newer batch because like i said others who have bought the laptop recently have the same issue. I contacted asus. and they have yet to respond
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Luckily I have not. I'm using Sony Bluetooth over the ear headphones but I'm plugging them in directly to the headphone jack with the cord and haven't had any issues. I'm hoping you don't have a lemon headphone jack. Have you tried updating all your drivers? Tried a bluetooth headphones that bypassed the jack to make sure it's not an audio issue from the computer?
